Kamchatka gas supply to raise local competitiveness-view.
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, September 29 (Itar-Tass) - The installation of gas supply on the Kamchatka Peninsula will make it possible "not only to replace costly brought-in fuel by ecologically pure gas, but will also contribute to considerably reducing expenses on the production of local output and raising its competitiveness", Viktor Ishayev, presidential plenipotentiary representative in the Far East, said here on Wednesday in connection with the putting of a Sobolevo - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky gas pipeline into operation.
Ishayev pointed out that the Kamchatka Territory is one of the most
energy-consuming regions of the country and the Far East. The cost of
energy here is higher than anywhere else, for both the population and the
enterprises. The complex transportation pattern does not allow an
uninterrupted supply of liquid fuel to the Peninsula. "This is why to
install gas supply is a priority for a further economic development of the
Territory," he said.
"The implementation of the project to install gas supply on the
Kamchatka Peninsula is an indicator of special attention to the Far East
people on the part of the President and Government of the Russian
Federation. Actually, we implement step by step a programme to establish
in Eastern Siberia and the Far East a united system for the production,
transportation and supply of gas with due regard for possible export to
the markets of China and other Pacific Rim countries," Ishayev said.
